NOV Diagram for .NET - Printing and PDF

Printing and PDF

NOV Diagram for .NET provides flexible printing and PDF export for diagrams, technical drawings, and other visual documents. Print previews, configurable page layouts, and control over printable content help users prepare drawings for sharing and publication. The following sections introduce the main printing features.
print preview

Print Preview

Preview how a drawing will appear on printed pages before sending it to a printer or exporting it to PDF. The same preview is used for both outputs, allowing users to check page arrangement, scaling, and content placement.

Users can refine the output by adjusting alignment and scaling or fitting the drawing to a specified grid of pages. These settings are reflected in the preview, making it easy to verify the layout of both single-page diagrams and larger drawings.
page breaks

Page Breaks

Display page breaks in the print preview and directly within the drawing view. These boundaries show how the drawing is divided across printed pages, helping users adjust content placement before printing.
non printable shapes

Non-Printable Shapes

Individual shapes can be marked as non-printable while remaining visible during editing. This allows users to include design notes, reference elements, and other editing aids without adding them to the printed output.
